Troubled American singer Britney Spears will not be charged with battery after her housekeeper accused her of a physical altercation, says Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko.
The pop superstar is alleged to have struck her housekeeper (that involved slapping a phone out of her (housekeeper) hand) earlier this month, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.
However, Nasarenko said on Wednesday September 1, that the investigation found “insufficient evidence that a crime had occurred”. According to the district attorney’s office, the housekeeper had told deputies the phone’s screen protector had been damaged, however this was not the case after an investigation was carried out.

Spears’ lawyer Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor, called the accusation “sensational tabloid fodder” at the time and again in a new statement Wednesday.
Rosengart said; “If this involved Jane Doe rather than Britney Spears, it would not have been pursued or covered at all.
“Anyone can make an accusation, but this should never have made it this far, and we are glad the DA’s Office has done the right thing.”
